Thanks to Yanji for getting me these Palmiers.They were flakey, buttery and delicious with a nice coating of crunchy sugar on the surface.As well as the plain one, there was also sesame which had a fragrant taste.

Thanks to Yanji for getting me these Palmiers. They were flakey, buttery and delicious with a nice coating of crunchy sugar on the surface. As well as the plain one, there was also sesame which had a fragrant taste.

I'm a fan of the palmiers at Fine Foods, usually I'll have a quick tea here when I drop by when I restock the palmiers. If you have never tried the palmiers here you should definitely have a go cos it's the best palmiers that I've ever tried in HK! They're light, crisp, full of buttery aroma and not too sweet : )
I've tried a range of their products (not all of them yet, sadly) and here are my humble views:
1. Strawberry napoleon: I suspect there was problem with the storage, or the syrup on the top part was too heavy. Anyway, the supposed-to-be crispy top layer of pastry went soggy. Fail. Custard was in reasonble sweetness. Strawberries a bit too sour. Bottom layer of pastry was crisp but not as buttery as the famous palmiers, it was a bit bland indeed. (If you are a fan of napoleons, better reserve your quota for Tony Wong cherry napoleon!)
2. Japanese Kyoho grape jelly: too sweet, a bit artificial, but I'm not a fan of kyoho grapes to start with (detest fruits with unnatural flavors). Not recommended.
3. Japanese white peach jelly: in the contrary this jelly cup was a gem! Super natural flavor of peach, with a tinge of natural sourness. The peach topping didn't look good (looked a bit too ripen) but it tastes sweet with a full peachy aroma : P Yum yum yum.
4. Blueberry cheese cake: the quality of the blueberries were good but the combination was a bit over-the-top. The macarons might have given a more high end finishing but they were too sweet and 畫蛇添足。The whole cake was a ?mascarpone based moussy cheese cake with a layer of blueberry jelly sandwiched in between, with a blueberry jam coating. Overall the blueberry-containing items were all too sweet and gave you a ribena kind of taste. Not recommended.
5. American cheese cake: simple, not too sweet, not too strong normal sort of American cheese cake. I do prefer stronger flavored ones so I have to say I'm not a fan.
6. Rose macaron: another recommendation on my list! It has a very high end appearance adorned with a petite edible rose. Readily gave out rosy aroma when served. Raspberries were super sour and balanced out the macaron's sweetness. Storage was decent and the macaron bit remained light and crispy : )

The cakes are very pretty, to the extent of putting one in a very difficult position having to make a choice.Finally, the choices were made, "Green apple cheesecake, Tiramisu, Mango Tart. The Green apple cheesecake introduces a totally new style of cheesecake with the light cheese cream hiding apple bits and biscuit bits sprinkled all over the cheese. Made with white chocolate, the crust is not very sweet and definitely addictive. Will be a must-eat next time round. Mando Tart is very appealing and the taste is just as good. Crisp and sturdy crust surrounding the less-sweet custard, the tart is quickly finished because the mango balls are sweet in a natural way and is complemented by the less-sweet custard and crust. Last but not least, the tiramisu takes up a simpler look but taste really good with the cream taking up a light and non-watery texture. Cream and cake are well-proportioned, thus taste is easily acquired.

The green exterior is a layer of buttery white chocolate which, as you can see, is made like an apple. The sweetness of white chocolate is accomplished with its delicate stem that tastes like 70% dark chocolate. A more exciting discovery is about the interior: bites of apple is set as the base, on top is the cream cheese. The texture of the cheese is exactly what I wanted it to be - thick and creamy. Credit to the crumbs on top! Which makes this little lovely cake complete (coz I always like crunchy stuff.)

Since I didn't buy the cake, I can't comment on the service, hygiene, decor and value.

Taste:The Tiramisu was plain amazing. Because it was so light, even though I was still quite full from dinner I managed to have two slices. This Tiramisu differed from others because it had Tiramisu written around the sides. Just kidding~ It was different because the outside didn't seem to be your tradtional ladyfingers. It was more like a regular sponge cake, and as I ate towards the centre of the cake, I got to taste more and more of the cheese and coffee liquor.

Final Verdict:This really was the best Tiramisu cake I ever had! T_T

Thank you for my sister to brought us a few Greenapple Cheese Cake ($38) as dessert after our dinner. The presentation was attractive as it looks like a real green apple. We cut into half and found some filling inside, the cheese filling with some crumble on top. The filling was mild sour taste with some tiny green apple pieces. The green apple mold was made by white chocolate, which I feel a bit sweet when I ate with the filling. I saw the portion of filling was not much and also the crumble. I think more preparation time on this cake was spend and so limited number was served.

Green Apple and Pink Rapsberry

Heard the Green Apple was a one of the new signature desgins, so I ordered two and turened out to be a big let down. First of all, the ladies offered the poor-quality, fragile plastic forks which snapped easily while cracking the Green Apple cake. Inside, the Cheese was too sour and the fluid texture didn't please us. Three of us stopped after the first few bites and the 2nd Green Apple was left unattended . THe Pink raspberry tasted fine, but it didn't excite me much either.

Napoleon. The crisp too thick

Napoleon. The crisp too thick

Napoleon , one of the signature desserts too, wasn't as nice as I imagined. The crisp was too thick and not crispy enough. I recommend the Napoleon lovers should go for the one in HK Shangri-La instead, it was the best Napoleon I ever treid.

Black Forest. Look very good but too sour

Black Forest. Look very good but too sour

Black Forest. The layers and colors looked so attractive and again it's a let down. Two of the girls thought it was too sour. We wanted something sweet and didn't expect it was a sour journey to begin with.

Chocolate Truffle Cake. The only tasty one.

The staff here was rather impudent and rude. Lack of smile served with impatient answer and description, especially the older women was unbearable.

Supplementary Information

It was my first time to be here and I will certainly not come again, there are so many much better dessert, cake stores out in HK.

Please train the staff well and No cracky plastic forks please, it's so funny such a nice store can't provide a proper utiliy.

I have always wanted to try the cakes from Fine Foods but East Tsim Sha Tsui is too far and inconvenient. They had a counter at Hang Hau so I bought some cakes from there. Initially I did not know they were Fine Foods because I went over thinking they were selling English foods until I went to the counter. The cake selection was not that British because I was expecting the cakes that you would find at Teakha even thought I still havent been yet..The cakes at the stall were...

Tiramisu

We had a good Chinese New Year dinner at the Royal Garden Hotel Chinese restaurant last night for about 14 friends. Some of my dear friends brought a few bottles of fine red wine. My girlfriend would like to treat everyone a nice cake. I suggested her to order a 2 pound tiramisu at the Fine Foods. They could deliver the cake to our table directly. This was one of the best Tiramisu in Hong Kong. It was not too sweet. I could tasted different layers of egg white, chocolate, and sponge cake. They also offer credit card 15%off discount. This cake was $442, very reasonable price.
